Finding The Best Way To Make A Grilled Cheese

Some say toast with mayo, some say butter, and some say that the classic American cheese version is the only way. I would very much like it if we could just stop arguing and actually put it to the test.

I got an epic tip from the guy at the cheese counter. You know the greasy pizza you get from that cheap pizza joint? It's because they cooked it at a way high temp in order to make it faster, and that breaks down the cheese and "sweats" the oils. In a grilled cheese you don't want it all oily, so the secret is (like many other foods) low and slow. You turn it down to low or medium low at most and cover the pan with a lid. The cook time goes up, but it's way harder to overcook it if you get a bit distracted, and the cheese pull is amazing. You also can get more cheese and other toppings loaded in there with this method, because even if you stack it up, the cheese will melt long before the bread would blacken if cooking without a lid at medium heat. If you overfill it and it starts oozing out, don't worry, you'll get extra crunchy goodness from a bit of overflowing fried cheese. One thing my wife loves is to sprinkle a little extra cheese on top after you flip it. Again, the low heat and lid will ensure that by the time it's done all the sprinkled cheese on top will be melted as well. Trust me, you gotta try it.

“You don’t want anything going soft too fast”

[julialeavister]

I’m surprised “You don’t want anything going soft earlier than you expected it to” went over everyone’s head

Grilled cheese with a bowl of creamy tomato soup. Perfect comfort food.

Been a grilled cheese lover my whole life, but never started the sandwich in a cold pan. I guess I thought the bread would stick. It works perfectly!

I'm surprised Josh didn't make his own cheese

My favorite is using 3-5 sliced cheeses (even Walmart great value brand!) but instead of mayo or butter, I’ve discovered how amazing grilled cheese is with olive oil! And you don’t need to have a heart attack while enjoying your grilled cheese! Also, I prefer mayo on the inside of the sandwich to assist with even melting of the cheese. I prefer Hellman’s light mayo. Another thing I do, I always throw a slice of mozerella next to say sharp cheddar and provolone, since that cheese melts the best. Also sometimes I make it into a “grilled sandwich” by adding some thin sliced honey glazed ham in the middle.

In the Netherlands we don't say "Grilled cheese", we say "pantosti" and I think that is beautiful.

Grilled cheese is just America’s Quesadilla.

This is in harmony with my family’s cooking motto: “When in doubt, add more cheese.”
Also, our second motto: “You can never have too much cheese.” 😎😎

I have literally NEVER heard of anyone using mayo instead of butter for toasting
